More often than not, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at specifications. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S9300 and FH6.

Plainly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Nikon S9300 to give you extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern S9300 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
